A Look Inside The Christopher Chronicles 2.0

Christopher's adjective to describe this book is "DELECTABLE" - like DEEE-LICIOUS. Delectable is a word that I thought he made up years ago. The first time he said it, he was being pulled in a wagon by Granddaddy to an ice cream shop. After eating his ice cream, he said, "MMMM DEEEELECTABLE!"

The Christopher Chronicles 2.0 is Coming Soon!

It's February 1st! Wow, last month flew by. Did I say that already? This time, I'm not sad about it about because I worked January like a boss and I'm getting up at 5:00 am for my peaceful hour, like a champ.

"Love you to pieces."

It was bedtime and we'd had a one on one evening because it's Papa Bear's bowling night.

Since there's only two days of school left I let Christopher play outside until 7:45 then we went to run an errand and go to Sonic (our new favorite place).

As I kissed him on the cheek he said,

Interview with a 10 year old...

For the last 30 minutes before Christopher's bedtime tonight, I asked if I could interview him. I got this idea from blogger Jennifer Hall, who makes this list of questions an annual thing with her kids. Here are Christopher's response to the same twenty questions.

Don't stop believing...

Just a few weeks ago, in my reflection of the shutdown post I said, "Sometimes I hate being a grown up." Sometimes I wish I could go back to the magic of believing in certain things...

A Rookie Mistake...

This week I am participating in a mini blog challenge where Monday's prompt is a Blog Commercial or Confessions of A Blogger. I am throwing my link in the ring combining the prompt in a confessions of a first time author kind of way...

It had me at "Relaxing"...

Christopher is still scared of the dark and sleeps with his lamp on for half of the night. Sunday night he seemed to be having back to school anxiety and must have turned his lamp back on about five times. I wanted to make him smile and fall asleep peacefully on the night before school.

Communicating Instinctively: It's a thing...

Did he just say what I think he said? Had learned it from Transformers? Had it been from Kindergarten? Did the new friend say it? Had he overheard his dad say it? What bothered me most was how experienced he sounded saying it.

Murphy's Law of Home Alone Part 2...

Murphy visited me last night for one last hurrah before my husband comes home. Murphy started off gently last week with a slug and a noisy frog. That was nothing compared to what happened last night; my first night home in 6 days.

Weekend at Mimi's...

I enjoyed my weekend as usual. I'm off the mommy clock when I go home. Papa Bear was out of town so I was off the wife clock as well.

"What's baptized?"

This year I started reading a day by day children’s bible to Christopher as a bedtime story. My mom gave him this book when he was three but the stories did not hold his attention. To keep him from having bad dreams at night I suggested that we start reading the bible and he agreed. We read several stories a night.
